And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.
You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.
Cursed be anyone who misleads a blind man on the road. And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
And I will lead the blind

I will turn the darkness before them into light,
the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
and I do not forsake them.
